You also, I think, can't hold executive privilege...when not the executive.
It's an office. Not a person.
This SCOTUS, in their proven illiteracy, my decide otherwise of course and we should expect that (these robes still don't understand the 18th century common use of "people" vs "people's," the latter being very specifically not used, for a very specific reason, and shockingly something that a "an originalist" should care about, but I digress), but IRC that an former anything pretty much can't call privilege when the actual president (you know, the one in the seat at the time the question is asked), decides if there is privilege on active US intel and security. It's the point of executive privilege, no?
Executive privilege is enforceable when the security of the United States is at risk.
If a former president, who by law has absolutely no authority over US security is desperate to claim this, for whatever reason, then you know that it is precisely the reason that no former president, with no authority over an office that they do not serve, can ever be allowed to make that call. I mean, fucking seriously. It's basic 3rd grade bullshit.
Why do we entertain grade school fetishists with elephant lapels that can't be bothered to understand actual civics, at it's most basic, post-enlightenment model?
Fucking seriously.
